Tendelux 120ft IR Illuminator | BI8 Compact and Powerful 90ø Infrared Light for CCTV Security Camera (w/Power Adapter)

Very good light. Strong, does the job. Has a sensor, and turns on automatically when it's dark. Plugged in once I got it and have never touched it since

Will update review as I gain more experience. Got it to augment Not So Great night vision of several Ring devices. Seems to work very well just testing in my kitchen with lights out. I was very impressed by the packaging and the instructions. The glow of the IR lamps, though, is hardly "semi-covert." I can easily see the glow of the 8 LED's from about 40 ft away in the semi-dusk environment of my house right now and with increasing distance, although each individual light gets fainter, that's a bit countered by the reduced FOV of the illuminator fusing the 8 objects into one with increasing distance. Nevertheless, if having visible lights on around the outside of your house is supposed to scare bad guys away, what's to complain about bad guys being deterred by a mysterious red glow from an array of 8 little objects in the distance. All in all, though, I'm very happy with the purchase and the 2-year warranty, which, of course, is only as good as the longevity of the company. More to come ....Update03: Unlike with the Ring Video Doorbell Pro (update02), the IR illuminator works pretty well with the original Ring Stickup Cam to increase the sensitivity of motion detection and the clarity of the scene. Attached is a video of the Stickup Cam resting on top of a car in my garage, the IR light on the AC compressor outside the garage to the right-at first the illuminator is off, then I turn it on and you can see the difference it makes. The illuminator is SO STRONG it blows out highlights of the subject close to the security camera and would be better positioned further away from the area that you want close-up, high resolution video. So a less strong illuminator of any sort would be a better buy if you planned to put the illuminator close to a proximal area of surveillance interest.Update02: While the IR illuminator certainly improves the distance my Ring Video Doorbell Pro can see into the night, a chain is only as strong as its weakest link-and for me, that appears to be the quality of the Ring Doorbell Pro night vision. Although things can be more clearly seen at a distance of 50 to 60 feet, the image is still pretty fuzzy and what's worse, for my purposes, the illumination does not enhance the sensitivity of motion detection. The various brands of these devices are FLOODLIGHTS. That means the foreground near the light is going to be very bright and although I can clearly see myself walking up and down my driveway 50 or 60 feet away, the relative brightest of my image compared to the blazing foreground is not enough for the Ring infrared motion detection algorithm to detect the difference my presence makes. The normal daylight behavior of the color vision in the Ring is quite different and easily detects me in the same position on my driveway. I also have the original Ring Stickup Cam and the Ring Video Doorbell 2, whose motion detection algorithms are different than the Ring Doorbell Pro. So I will check out whether the night vision of these other Ring devices can make better use of the good floodlight illumination the Tendelux (and many similar devices) provides.Update01: Further note is this device appears to be extremely similar to another product listed under a different brand name on Amazon Univivi IR Illuminator 90 Degree Wide Angle 8-Leds IR Infrared Light for Security Cameras. There are several differences between the products: 1) different brand labels on back of each device. 2) The other product has a different AC/12-volt adapter cord included, claims IP67 water resistance rather than IP66 for Tendelux. Other product does not offer a 2-year warranty, unlike the Tendelux brand. Other product claims only 85-ft night vision whereas Tendelux for 8-lamp claims 120 ft vision. Tendelux lamp life claimed to be 30,000 hours vs. 25,000 hours for other product. BTW, if the lights were only used 12 hr per day (~avg. night length), since there are 8,000 hours in a year, the lamps in each device ought to be able to operate 6.25 to 7.5 years before burnout.

Value for money

Positives:Desert conditions usage. Spray painted to blend into surroundings. Cleaned regularly with a solid stream from garden hose. Very water proof. Dark LED cover didn't fade. Treated poorly overall. Of the 8+ of this brand's similar lights of varying sizes, they all work like new even though I feel I have treated them poorly, in harsh desert conditions, and look like heck from the sun. High quality, durable, and safe power supplies included.Negatives:Though the beam and what it illuminates is invisible to me, the device's LEDs are highly visible from over 100 feet away. Anybody looking in the direction of the lights will most likely notice them right off and know they are on. But this is not unusual for 850 NM lights.

Realy lights up my rural property so my cameras can see all the back yard at night. No more sneaking around in the dark without being seen.
